Alachlor not estrogenic.
We read with interest the article "Developmental Effects of Endocrine-Disrupting Chemicals in Wildlife and Humans," by Colborn et al. (EHP 101: 378-384). This paper reviews the important issue of potential long-term consequences resulting from exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals during early life. In this article, the authors primarily discuss agents that interfere with the functioning o...
متن کاملSlow release formulations of alachlor 1 Performance of slow-release formulations of alachlor
3 Alachlor [2-chloro-N-(2,6-diethylphenyl)-N-(methoxymethyl)acetamide] is a 4 widely used herbicide that has been identified as a groundwater contaminant. Several 5 slow-release formulations (SRFs) of this herbicide have been examined for their 6 capacity to reduce its leaching and enhance weed control. A field experiment was 7 performed to determine alachlor leaching and bioefficacy in: (i) a ...
متن کاملEstrogenic and anti-estrogenic activity of 23 commercial textile dyes.
The presence of dyes in wastewater effluent of textile industry is well documented. In contrast, the endocrine disrupting effects of these dyes and wastewater effluent have been poorly investigated. Herein, we studied twenty-three commercial dyes, usually used in the textile industry, and extracts of blue jean textile wastewater samples were evaluated for their agonistic and antagonistic estrog...
متن کاملRelease of Atrazine and Alachlor from Clay-Oxamide Controlled-ReleaseFormulations¤
Controlled-release herbicide formulations have been shown to decrease the leaching potential of several herbicides under laboratory and Ðeld conditions. The utility and efficacy of these formulations may be improved by combining several herbicides and a fertilizer source in a single formulation. The objective of these studies was to develop granular alginate formulations that were composed of a...
متن کاملMortality and cancer incidence among alachlor manufacturing workers 1968-99.
BACKGROUND Alachlor is the active ingredient in pre-emergent herbicide formulations that have been used widely on corn, soybeans, and other crops. It has been found to cause nasal, stomach, and thyroid tumours in rodent feeding studies at levels that are much higher than likely human exposures. AIMS To evaluate mortality rates from 1968 to 1999 and cancer incidence rates from 1969 to 1999 for...
